Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Has anyone had to have surgery while taking MTX? If so what did you have to do. I might have to have a hernia surgery and I don't know how the MTX would affect this. What kind of affect will having surgery have on my RA? Any help would be great.

Good luck with your surgery when are you having it and will it be day surgery? Janet IN IL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Janet, It is an outpatient procedure but not sure if I am having yet. The problem is I have a 10 month old that I have to pick up throughout the day and they say you can't lift more than 5 or 10 pounds for 6 weeks. So I will either have to find someone to come help me while my husband is at work or wait until next summer when my older kids are not in school. Too late to get it done before school now. > > > > Has anyone had to have surgery while taking MTX? If so what did you > > have to do.
